The kids spent lots of time in the pool on Saturday. Dave kept the kids occupied by swimming with them in the pool.Here’s Carson, getting ready to go on an underwater expedition. Here’s baby Kate. Damn she’s cute. Here’s Riley, who spent nearly all day in those Muck boots he found. He’s such a great kid!

Bernie and Paul came over and so did David and Lisa, who brought her grandparents. They were adorable! We grilled out chicken and shrimp, and Bernie and Paul brought baked beans and sugar peas. We had a really nice time, talking and talking after dinner, and Dave served up the Carrot Cake, which was a big hit, too.

Lisa’s grandfather couldn’t figure out why Bernie and Paul lived in the same house. Heh.

Friday night we had a party at Humble Pie. Karen’s fiance, David Penner, was in town and this was our opportunity to meet him. It was also time to say goodbye to Karen, as she is leaving Raleigh to move to San Francisco with Penner. We will miss her! There was great turn out at this event! It seemed everyone we know was there, probably 40 people in all. Even Karen’s parents showed up, just for the night!
